A friendly welcome to a spacious property in a beautiful setting

Left on Oct 12, 2013 for a stay in October 2013

The cottage looks pleasant from the photo's on the website, with every thing you need more or less in one room, but is suprisingly spacious in real life.

Blissful stay in cosy country cottage

Left on Feb 13, 2011 for a stay in June 2010

A warm welcome from Mrs Trafford and the family made our arrival easy to this lovely country cottage for two.

The cottage itself is excellent for a couple to stay with all the amenities we required, a well designed kitchen and bathroom. The lounge is…
